Within the framework of the initiative, first of all, the SMG produced and distributed a parents’ manual describing how to protect their children from child abduction, and built the internet portal “Seoul Child Safety Portal.” In this context, the SMG and one of major Korean telecommunication companies signed a MOU that serves as the basis for launching a special mobile price plan for parents/children subscribers. With this special telecom service, the parent subscribers not only enjoy affordable monthly fees but also can they track down their children’s location on a real-time basis thanks to the latest GIS. And thus, if any child-related incidents occur, the parents are to be well informed of their kids’ whereabouts. Plus, the parents can find out their children’s location through the Seoul Child Safety Portal as well.]]>Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:20:13 GMTIn useMobile internet accessCitizenry, esp. parents and childrenSoftware - Mobile0Cisco Mobile Network Solutions for Public Safetyhttp://www.unpan.org/DPADM/EGovernment/KnowledgeBaseofICTforPublicService/tabid/826/ctl/ProductDetail/mid/2182/ProductID/243/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Public safety agencies want to improve their effectiveness and responsiveness to incidents within or outside their jurisdiction. With increased focus on homeland security, these agencies need even better interdepartmental and interagency communications with their most important resource, police officers and first responders in the field. Information technology, device technology, wireless, and networking are improving continuously. Applications supporting police, fire, and medical response units are transitioning from simple text and voice to rich multimedia applications. Real-time video, maps with satellite imagery, Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking, and global database searches are now available in handheld devices that first responders carry with them in the field. Public safety agencies want to enable these new applications and extend their existing applications from headquarters into the communities they serve.

Helping you deliver against performance targets and respond to the challenges of reorganisation

The reorganisation of the UK Ambulance Services has given rise to a range of challenges stemming from the merging of neighbouring services. These include assimilating and coordinating the merged services and ensuring the performance and resilience of core functions, such as Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), are maintained despite having a greatly increased user base, substantially higher call volumes and more complex operational requirements.

Policing an area as vast as Western Australia is a testing business. To extend the long arm of the law in the world''''s geographically largest law enforcement jurisdiction, the Western Australia Police Service is looking to new technology for a helping hand. The potential benefits were demonstrated during a recent pilot project conducted by the WA Police in conjunction with Fujitsu and Microsoft - with emphatic results.

The pilot used hand-held computers and high-speed wireless communications to provide officers on patrol with direct access to databases holding information about people and vehicles. Compared to the existing voice radio queries, the technology boosted the number of queries conducted during routine police operations, leading to a dramatic improvement in identification of people who were wanted by police for matters as serious as armed robbery and drug trafficking.&nbsp
